Areas of specialization Finite-element modeling of electromagnetic fields and shock hydrodynamics. electro-thermal modeling in medicine, accelerator and beam physics, Monte Carlo simulations of radiation transport, pulsed-power applications. Biographical information Stanley Humphries spent the first part of his career as an experimentalist in the fields of plasma physics, controlled fusion and charged particle acceleration. A notable contribution was the creation and demonstration of methods to generate and to transport intense pulsed ion beams. His current work centers on simulations of electromagnetic fields, biomedical processes and material response at high pressure and temperature. Dr. Humphries is the author of over 130 journal publications and the textbooks Principles of Charged-particle Acceleration (John Wiley, New York, 1986), Charged Particle Beams (John Wiley, New York, 1990) and Field Solutions on Computers (CRC Press, Boca Raton, 1997). The Chinese translation of Charged Particle Beams has recently been released by Atomic Energy Press (Beijing). He received a B.S. in Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering from the University of California at Berkeley. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers. Dr. Humphries is a professor emeritus in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of New Mexico and President of Field Precision, a scientific software company.
